getting better sleep PART 1

So  i  was  wondering  if any  is  like  me  for  the last  year  i  have  only  gotten to  sleep in till  6 am at  the latest ,my  body's  internal alarm clock  will not  let  me sleep past  this time. i  have  been  reading  on  how  much sleep you  need and  other things  about  sleep  and  how important  it  is

Noises at levels as low as 40 decibels or as high as 70 decibels can keep us awake. That means that a dripping faucet can steal your sleep, as well as the next door neighbor's blaring stereo. But the absence or presence of a familiar noise can have as great an impact on your sleep as out-of-the-ordinary noises. Studies show that sirens and traffic noise from a city street can actually become soothing to longtime city sleepers (they will cringe at the thought of sleeping in the serene desert or mountain climate) just as the absence of the tick, tick, tick of your favorite clock while you try to sleep at a hotel can become a sleep stealer.
What to do: Try to block out unwanted sounds with earplugs or use "white noise" such as a fan, air cleaner or sound conditioner. Take your favorite clock with you when you travel in order to recreate familiar sounds that help you sleep.
